An exciting Saturday night. Swapped in a rebuilt 6v generator into the 57 beetle. We’ll test it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

Progress!

Nice engine photograph. Light is very diffuse and I could study the layout.

I have a novice question. Where does the generator fit? I see the distributor cap. Does it fit in near that?

It sits behind the upper pulley, that pulls turns the generator. Here’s a shot with the generator and carburetor removed.

I get it now. Thanks for the extra photo.

I’d read the VW was elegantly simple, but had never seen it stripped down like this.

Thanks!
